Chapter 158: A Peerless Chess Game That Shocked Jianglu

That Senior must be a peerless expert who was truly proficient in swordsmanship.

It was just that he was forced to give up using the sword in order to pretend to be mortal.

The most aggrieved thing for a swordsman was that he couldnt use the sword despite having it.

Lou Hongzhi had already imagined that the Senior couldnt use the sword, and he was able to resolve all the knots in his heart in the form of calligraphy.

Otherwise, why would there be that poem:

Ten years of sharpening a sword, but the frost blade has not yet been used.

Today, who has wronged the king?

This poem had been written into Lou Hongzhis heart.

When he was in the the Central Plains, in order to suppress his temper, his Master gave him a sword. He could carry it on his back, but he did not allow him to draw his sword. It had suffocated him.

If he had not found an excuse to go to the Southern Territory to train with Jianglu, he would not have had the chance to challenge the swordsmen of the world.

However, as soon as he drew his sword, he immediately encountered a bottleneck in his swordsmanship.

He realized his Masters painstaking efforts.

However, there was no turning back, and there was no need to regret it.

Did he meet a peerless master who had reached the peak of swordsmanship?

It was really a case of good and bad going hand in hand.

Thinking of this, Lou Hongzhi calmed down.

He decided that he would do everything in his power to stay by the side of that peerless master. Even if it meant cleaning the toilets for that Senior, he would be willing.

The tea is ready, come over.

Liu Changgongs voice came from the backyard.

Jianglu and Lou Hongzhis bodies trembled.

They answered:

Yes, Senior.

Then, they ran to the backyard, no longer longing for the immortal artifacts in the inner hall.

That immortal artifact was not something they could get their hands on. It was useless to look at it.

Soon, they arrived at the small courtyard.

The two saw a game of chess under the old peach tree in the courtyard, and a set of neat tea set beside the chess table.

A little girl with white hair and two-colored eyes sat at the edge of the chess table.

A little snow-white fox was lying on the girls leg.

It seemed that the Senior was playing chess with someone.

Jianglu had seen it the last time he was here, so he was not very surprised.

Jianglu only noticed that the snow-white foxs bloodline had improved.

It was truly astonishing. Even the fox demon could obtain such a huge improvement by staying by that Seniors side.

Jianglu also had the same thoughts as Lou Hongzhi.

No matter the cost, he had to stay by the Seniors side.

Even if he had to betray the Dao Constellation Palace.

But Lou Hongzhis reaction was different. He seemed very surprised.

His mouth was wide open, but he couldnt make a sound.

It turned out that the restriction on his mouth hadnt been removed.

His face was purplish-red.

Whats wrong with this person? Why does he look uncomfortable?

Jianglu hurriedly explained:

This friend of mine is born with such a physique. He blushes whenever hes excited. Hes very excited when he sees Senior. He cant help himself.

Oh, dont just stand there like this Sit down and have a cup of tea. This tea of mine has the effect of calming the mind.

Liu Changgong thought that these two must have lost a magical treasure at the calligraphy and painting exchange meet and couldnt explain to the elders of their family, which was why they came looking for him.

Although the one who beat them was Yu Hongye, however, Yu Hongye had become Liu Changgongs woman. Of course, he had to settle everything for her and properly entertain those two guests.

He couldnt let Yu Hongye, a noble female cultivator, commit herself to him. In the end, even her troubles had to be dealt with by her personally.

When facing outsiders, it was naturally better for a man to come forward.

Moreover, looking at the clothes and looks of those two people, they were both extremely outstanding.

To be able to attend the calligraphy and painting gathering with Yu Hongye, their backgrounds should also be very illustrious.

If they treated them well, they might even be the two financial backers who delivered themselves to their doorstep.

Thinking of this, the smile on Liu Changgongs face became even more amiable.

When Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi saw Liu Changgongs strange smile, they felt a chill in their hearts. That gaze was as if they were looking at a lamb being slaughtered

Thank you, Senior.

Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi carefully sat down at the chess table and respectfully picked up the teacup.

When Jianglu brought the teacup to his mouth, his gaze pretended to naturally fall on the chess game over there.

The Dao Constellation Palaces inherited cultivation method emphasized on stepping into the Dao through chess.

Jianglus chess skills were naturally very proficient. He was interested in any chess game, let alone a game set up by a peerless expert like Senior Liu.

But when he swept his gaze across the chess game on the stage, he almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

He stared blankly at the chessboard, his eyes glazed over, and then his gaze became erratic.

At the center of the chessboard, the words Sun and Moon were written.

The secret that his Master of the Dao Constellation Palace had told him echoed in Jianglus mind.

Back then, the old ancestor was enlightened by an immortal object in his dream, and only then did he have the heart to follow the Dao.

That was a chessboard that encompassed the sun, moon, and stars, all things in the world, with the heaven and earth as the chessboard, and the common people as the chess pieces.

Sun and Moon Chessboard!

It was actually the Sun and Moon Chessboard!

Could it be that it was just as Master had said, the immortal artifact chessboard that enlightened the patriarch Carefree Grand Sage in his dream!

For a moment, Jianglus emotions were like lightning, and he fell into deep thought again.

Liu Changgong looked at Jianglus expression and felt very strange.

What was wrong with this person? He invited him to drink tea, but why did he hold the teacup to his mouth and not move it?

Although Liu Changgong was very confident in his tea skills, the people who drank his tea would definitely not be willing to drink it all in one gulp and would only give up after a small sip.

However, was there a need to be so careful?

With this drinking method, it was likely that he would have to sip off a layer of the teacup.

Could it be a special tea drinking ceremony in his clan?

Liu Changgong looked at it carefully and found that it was also not right. That person could not even drink tea from his mouth.

Could it be that that person used tea to comprehend Dao?

When Liu Changgong was having intercourse with Yu Hongye, he had also learned a lot about cultivators.

Some cultivators would suddenly have an epiphany in their daily lives.

Liu Changgong looked at it for a while. Jianglu was still in that position.

He was certain that that person should have entered a state of epiphany, so he couldnt interrupt him.

Lou Hongzhi was also very anxious on the side.

Didnt his good friend, Brother Jiang, usually boast of unparalleled intelligence?

Why was his performance so bad at this time? He lost his composure in front of the Senior, and instead, he was worse than a hothead like him?

He quickly reached his hand under the table and secretly tugged at Jianglus clothes.

Only then did Jianglu wake up from his dream and hurriedly apologized. Seniors chess game is really too exquisite. Junior is really too focused, thats why Im so rude.

Liu Changgong did not mind.

Yu Hongye had entered a state of epiphany when they were doing that joyful thing, so he was used to it.

No worries, didnt you say you wanted to learn chess? It seems that you do have talent in chess.

Liu Changgong admitted that his chess game with Weiqi was not a talented chess player, so he really could not appreciate the exquisiteness of the game.
